A Light One-Bedroom Apartment in a Victorian Terrace House

The upper ground floor of a stucco-fronted 19th-century terrace house in London is home to a charming one-bedroom apartment flooded with natural light. The small 468-square-foot apartment is bookended by large sash windows, creating light-filled spaces that feel larger than their actual size.

The apartment, located in a Victorian house, features original elements like guilloche cornicing and tall box sash windows. These are paired with contemporary interiors like a birch ply kitchen.

The living room lies on the south side of the apartment, creating a wonderful, light-filled living area. The room features a tall double-glazed sash window set within the original stripped-back box casing and shutters that add privacy when needed.

The room is centered around an original fireplace framed by a modern mahogany mantelpiece. The fireplace is flanked by bookshelves.

The apartment has a lateral floor plan with stripped-back wooden doors separating the bedroom from the living room. When opened, it creates wonderful bright spaces with light coming from two large windows on opposite sides.

A small dining space with green chairs in set in front of the sash window, next to the small kitchen.

The kitchen is made of bespoke birch ply cabinets paired with a marble countertop and a gray marmoleum floor.

The bedroom lies at the front of the house. The sisal carpet in the living room and bedroom creates harmony. The bedroom features the original sash window with white shutters, providing privacy. An open wardrobe is created in the niche by the window.

The tiny bathroom is simple, with black rubber stud tiles on the floor and white-painted exposed brickwork. Built-in cabinets by the window provide storage space in the small room.

The apartment is listed for £525,000 at Inigo.
